Google Camp 2021 is coming up!

The 6th annual Riverside County Google Camp is coming up again in two weeks - July 14th & 15th!  RCOE & Menifee USD are partnering together to bring teachers, administrators, and instructional coaches two full days of professional learning and collaboration in a completely virtual setting.  This is a fantastic opportunity to further develop your technological and pedagogical knowlege.  You can get an idea of what Google Camp is like by checking out all of last year's resources HERE.

In order to make the conference as accessible as possible, they are keeping the price at $49!  Any Riverside County educator can register on OMS HERE!   If you are an Hemet USD teacher, our district is covering your registration fee if you'd like to attend, just like they did last summer! Whoop, whoop!!! 

For anyone out there who may be still be teaching in an online and/or hybrid distance learning environment next year, I will be presenting in one of the breakout sessions with my EdTech Administrator, Derek, in a session called "Engaging Students in Online Synchronous Academic Discourse".  In our session, we'll discuss strategies and tools to help get your students "talking" in the virtual classroom.  The session will be geared more towards the secondary educator audience; however, the practices that will be discussed can be modified and adapted for lower grade levels. 

Also - some exciting news - on day two of Google Camp, I've been invited to be part of the panel that will speak at the opening session!!!  I'll be joining teachers, a counselor, a principal, and a technology director to speak about our experiences from this past year, what we've learned, and how we're moving forward post-pandemic.  I'm super humbled and grateful for this opportunity and would love to see you there!
